    I'm a college freshman that was recently sidelined by an SI joint injury. I ran once indoors-a 9:04 3k. This was a PR by about 20 seconds from a year earlier. In HS I ran 1:57 for 800m (by far my best PR) and only 4:32 for the mile, though I rarely raced it my senior year. I'm coming off of about six weeks of aqua jogging and elliptical training. Should I try at MD this season or move up to the 5k/steeple because I only have an aerobic background right now? I'm currently increasing my mileage back to normal-should be back up to 50 by April.

    I would suggest sticking to the 800,1500. As a freshman it's good to get to know some of the middle distance events at the collegiate level. Especially the 1500, if your a 1:57 guy I think a good goal for the 1500 is 4:00-4:02 based off your 3k time as well. You'll have plenty of time go after 5k/steeple. Also i wouldn't recommend doing the steeple coming off a injury.
